Im about to buy these bbs rx rims of my shop. They were used for about a year and come with no tires so ill just use the tires i have on the contours. They have couple of scratches on them so my guy at the shop offered them to me for 1000 dollars and hell paint it any color i want and polish the lip and mount and balance the tires. My car is alpine white BTW. What color do u think guys would look nice on those bbs rims. I was thinking either gunmetal or hyper black with polished lip. I need some suggestions.

I would just keep them sliver and get polished lip, or black with a polished lip.

Hyper black with a polished lip...no brainer.

black will be really hard to do because you wont be able to produce the relaly "glossy" look if you do the rims black...

but take my word for it, black w/ polished lip looks AMAZING

Just get them refinished with the original color.

do you still have those AT Italia type 5 rims? and what size are they?

btw black with some reflection would be a good idea and maybe chrome the sides a little to get it some accent.

My 2 cents
